Question

The figure shows a block of mass M=2m having a spherical smooth cavity of radius R replaced on a smooth horizontal surface. There is a small ball of mass m moving at an instant vertically downward with a velocity v with respect to the block. At this instant:

Solution

The correct options are
A the normal reaction on the ball by the block is mv2R
D the acceleration of the block with respect to the ground is v22R
The ball tends to move in a circular path of radius R with velocity v at the instant.
Thus normal reaction on the ball by the block at the instant=Centripetal force experienced by the ball=mv2R
A reaction pair of the same acts on the block. This provides an acceleration to the block=FM=mv2RM=v22R
